KITCHEN TIP
Looking for a fast and portable snack? Look no further than your humble apple!
Apples are a source of low glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates, with your average apple containing approximately 1 carbohydrate exchange. It also gives an excellent punch of fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants into your daily diet.
As with most fruit, a lot of the fibre is found in the skin of the apple, so it's best to eat the peel as well as the juicy flesh, for a super filling and nutritious snack between meals.
SELECTION & STORAGE
■Choose apples with firm, smooth skin
■Keep your apples crisp by storing them in the fridge
■Aussie apple picking season runs from February to June'
